Considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, Federer captured the career Grand Slam in 2009 by winning the French Open. He then defeated Andy Roddick in a thrilling five-set marathon, surpassing Pete Sampras’ record of 14 slams, and ended the year #1 for the 5th time. His achievements include winning 2 Olympic medals and nearly 100 titles, including a total of 17 Grand Slam titles - a new record for most slam titles won! He has broken Jimmy Connors' record of consecutive weeks at world #1 by a large margin. Federer has also tied Bjorn Borg’s record of 5 consecutive Wimbledon titles.
